Pardon my bluntness...but why in the hell are you in Florida?
And no, I don't want to hear the typical excuses of "oh, it's only because of work/money!" or "oh, but if only I could sell my house!".
I hear those quite frequently from people who flee their precious winter wonderlands, move halfway across the country to live here, and then decide that they've terribly screwed up. It says more about their intelligence than anything . This would be the same as me moving back to Michigan and then proceeding to bash Michiganders about their state because I couldn't wear shorts in January. Nobody would feel sorry for me. Consequently, I don't feel sorry for people who are miserable in Florida, when they have the liberty to move elsewhere and so many more people would give anything to live here. People with *any* common sense at all know that life is far too short to live in places where you're miserable. And that's why I left Michigan and Pennsylvania long ago and have not looked back. If wearing a winter coat was of the utmost importance to me...I would never have moved to California from Pennsylvania, and I sure as hell would not have moved to Florida.
Any tourist with the intelligence of a fourth-grader who spends just one week in Florida during the summer gets a good idea of what it is like here. When I moved to Florida in 1989, I moved cross-country from California. I did my research and acted logically and with just a *bit* of common sense. As a result, I'm still living here and I love it.
Thank you for saying this, I couldn't of said it any better myself. *rep point for you, again*
in Naples. 70s/80s daytime versus 80s/90s. Don't even try to compare 25 miles from the Everglades to other places in Florida.
Naples is but one tiny part of Florida and nowhere in my posts did I ever mention Naples even though you make statements about Florida as if it is all like Naples.
The average high for Naples is 75 in January and 90 in June.
The average low for Naples is 53 in January and 72 in June.

Yes there is a difference.
if it is still SHORTS weather. The fact still remains that I cannot see leaves change where I am.
As a matter of fact, regardless I may just end up there, I'm tired of long depressing winters and cabin fever. Overcast skies for much of winter. I'll take SoCal over the rust belt or any other region of the country in a hearbeat. That's coming from a die-hard NY'er who loves the city.
I can relate to what you're saying, as someone who grew up in Chicago my whole life(and btw, is colder in the winter than NYC!), and would love to live somewhere warmer. Although California isn't what I have in mind where I'm interested in moving to, I'm more interested in places where it's milder in the winter, and I don't mind if there is a little snow. I just only hate how damn long Chicago winters are. BTW, should I add that I just traveled to NYC, and had a very enjoyable trip there?
Examples of states I'd be open to considering include Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia(least the northern portion of the state), Virginia, and perhaps the Carolinas. I know less about states west of the Mississippi(i.e. Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, etc.), but I'd be open to investigating those areas, too.
Can you blame her, she lives in SW Florida. The blandness alone would kill the happiness out of anyone.
So bland there yet with so much to do up north you spend all your time posting on here about it instead of out doing all those things you say you can do up north.
